Free Fall - Freier Fall
mariska:
A part of review on ibdm:
My only issue with the movie is (now I'll get spoilery):
I wish the conflict wouldn't have been so overly dominant. Of course that's what the movie is about, but love is also something positive (and something that can set you free, which the ending shows beautifully) and there's so much fighting and denial going on that the nice aspects fade away. But that's of course only my personal opinion. I guess my heart is just a bit broken because Kay&Marc didn't make it. Though maybe someday they will, who knows. :-)
I can agree with this.
The conflict is central to the story, but there are a lot of scenes Marc is agressive or simply not kind to Kay.
That bothered me.
If I could change something in the movie it would be this: less/shorter Bettina scenes and more nice moments between the guys.
Maybe that's why I want a sequel. Marc has to make up something to Kay.

A sequel: Unfortunately I only speak English & Spanish, not German :'( therefore I can't understand anything they're saying in the commentary nor in the deleted scenes (I own the German DVD Version of the film), but from what they were saying about a sequel, I mean I can take it as a joke but of course most people like us are unsure since we really want a sequel, so I think Stephen Lacant currently wouldn't want to produce a sequel, but maybe in the following years he might?
Perhaps another director may make a sequel for the film, that can happen. One of my favorite films, "Silent Hill" was made in 2006, and the director said he was planning to make a sequel but in the end dropped out. However another director decided to make the sequel and still utilized the same cast members and everything, which he did (but most people didn't like the movie either way).
But yes, the ending does leave an opening for a sequel, perhaps someone in the future may take advantage of this.
I enjoy reading the fanfictions that there are of the movie. Here are the best ones:
(http://nocturneworld.com/free-fall-part-2-renaissance/, http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Freier%20Fall%20%7C%20Free%20Fall%20(2013)/works, https://www.fanfiction.net/movie/Free-Fall-Freier-Fall/ ).
If you read all of them (which were written by different people), I can assume that weeks/months pass by after the events of the first film, Marc gets the guts to try to find Kay, but has to take care of the baby that he had with Bettina since she can't do it herself (and leaves it to Marc). Marc gets Kay's address (since he is a policeman after all), goes to Kay's apartment (which is a several minutes/hours away) and finds him. Kay isn't interested at first until Marc explains to him the break up with Bettina, and in the end they get back together and possibly raise the child.
However, I'd prefer that there be a novel published as a sequel to the movie? That'd be pretty awesome.
Back to the film, In the scene were Marc & Kay were doing it on the car, I don't think lube needed to be involved since it was raining ( a lot ) and they were soaking wet. But I do agree that they are erotic and romantic.

But again, I don't care because I liked the scene. The only thing that bothered me was they didn't use a lube.

I'm with you, I think all the scenes were well-done, there isn't any that I don't like.
There was a perfect place for one more, after they fight at Kay's apartment. I've already made up dialogue in my mind for it, and how it could lead to a beautiful scene ::). And a small thing they could have done to imply it, was have Marc's shirt buttoned in the scene, and unbuttoned in the next, when he is at home and looks in on Bettina and the baby.
morrobay:
Ok, got a question. How long were Marc & Kay together? Bettina was pretty far along in the pregnancy, and Kay left when the baby was maybe a month old, does that sound about right? So maybe 4 months from start to finish?

Doing some research on German riot police, in case I decide to do fanfic, found this:
Egg on their faces: German police trash their new £740,000 'riot-proof' water cannon just by pelting it with eggs and tennis balls
Published: 10:54 EST, 22 April 2014 | Updated: 16:09 EST, 22 April 2014
It weighs 33 tons, is made of solid steel and is supposed to be capable of knocking back crowds of rioters in the face of bricks and Molotov cocktails.
But one German police force has been left feeling rather washed out after they managed to damage their brand new €900,000 (£740,000) water cannon simply by pelting it with eggs and tennis balls.
Having taken possession of the Austrian-made 'WaWe 10' water cannon, Thuringia Police decided to test its performance with a series of mock demonstrations.
Pretending to be rioters, officers at first decided to hurl a number of less dangerous items such as bottles, tennis balls and eggs.
But they quickly found they had caused dents the size of fists in the armoured glass, according to The Local which cited broadcaster MDR.
A police spokesman said it did not expect such widespread damage.
What's perhaps more worrying for the government is that it has ordered 78 of the vehicles for use by forces across the country.
Germany's interior ministry has now written to the manufacturer, Rosenbauer, for an explanation.
Water cannon, which fire jets of water at high velocity, are commonly used as an effective tool to disperse riots because they are powerful but non-lethal.
The Rosenbauer Group is one of the world's three largest manufacturers of fire-service vehicles, based in Leonding, Austria.
